AI made image-making fast. It did not make choosing easy.
Tools generate.
Taste decides.
Beyond the model, the prompt or the workflow, there is still a factor that changes everything: knowing when something works.
Taste is rhythm. Restraint. A coherent visual language. The ability to feel that an image, an interface or a narrative is saying too much—or exactly enough.
AI can produce a hundred directions in minutes. Taste is what chooses one, shapes the sequence and knows when to stop.
A selection, not a prompt showcase.
Generated with AI. Curated by instinct, contrast and the quiet logic between one image and the next.
The tools will change.
The need to recognise what is worth keeping will not.
That is taste.
